Capture a more comprehensive view of the non-conscious aspects of consumer decision-making with the most complete set of neuroscience tools at a global scale.

Our brains react to our world in milliseconds—faster than we’re consciously aware. And much of what drives our everyday decisions, including what we’ll watch, talk about and buy, are the emotional responses that can’t be measured through traditional self-report methods.

By using the latest neuroscience technologies in combination with traditional survey methods, we help brands understand consumers’ non-conscious and conscious emotional responses, memory activations and attentional patterns, empowering them to better navigate the increasing complexity of modern consumer behavior. Our insights provide actionable results and an unprecedented understanding of consumer related decision-making, allowing our clients to build deep, lasting connections with their target audiences.

Leading Technology

Every brand is different, every challenge unique. By offering the most complete suite of cutting-edge, neuroscience-based tools at global scale, we can offer the proper solutions for each client’s particular needs. Since no single technology has a monopoly on the truth, we combine our tools to generate the most complete picture of the consumer.
